    Beginners

    Pamporovo's ski terrain is ideal for first-timers, with no less than 11 easy slopes to learn on. The local ski school runs special English language group lessons. Our 'First time' ski packages are highly recommended and fantastic value for money.

    Intermediates

    Moderate intermediates and improver skiers will find Pamporovo a very good place for their ski holiday. If you take the Malina chairlift to the middle station, followed by the Studenec lift to the summit, you'll find a choice of wide runs leading back to the village, ideal for practising your parallels.

    Advanced

    Stronger skiers will head for the aptly named 'Wall', a steep and challenging black mogul field. There is an international slalom course to time yourself on, as well as some interesting long reds.
